    High Way Race © 1983 Taito corporation.

    An overhead driving game from Taito.

    Game consists of 4 courses: Asian, American, African and European.

    Even if the game uses an 8-way joystick, only 2 directions are actually used: left and right. The car accelerates automatically.

    Game over can be reached in 2 ways: when the fuel runs out or when you fail the jump onto the platform (independent on the remaining fuel amount).

    TECHNICAL
    Runs on the "Taito SJ System" hardware.
    Prom Stickers: AC4

    Players: up to 2 (alternate)
    Control: 8-way joystick
    Buttons: 2
    → A = jump, B = brake

    TRIVIA
    Released in April 1983 in Japan. Both upright and cocktail models were produced.

    Copyright year is written in Roman numerals.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    • Time your jump properly:
    The 80; 60; 40; 20 and 00 numbers on the road indicate the distance to the platform. Try to jump between 20 and 00. Then hold the brake button until the car fully stops.

    • Reckless drivers:
    These appear after Asian course. Let them overtake you. Press brake and if the driver disappears from the screen (by exceeding the top edge), release brakes.

    • Fuel trucks:
    To refuel the car, drive close to rear wheels of either side of the fuel truck appearing somewhere in the middle of the course.
